There was only darkness in sight.There is only darkness all around.

Ah, I'm dreaming again.

Natsume knew exactly what happened.Strictly speaking, he has had this dream for a long time.

To be precise, I have been having this dream since I passed that so-called point.Moreover, the dream seems to have been developing.

At first, Natsume only dreamed of the darkness around him.There is nothing, as if it does not exist in this world, as if the darkness that can swallow everything.That time, Natsume woke up from fright.

Next several times, Natsume kept dreaming of this abyss-like dream.The first time and the second time he was able to wake up by himself.The third time and the fourth time was woken up by Mr. Cat.

Teacher Cat told him very seriously that this was not his dream, but another person's dream, because Natsume's own spiritual power was too strong, so he was attracted to this dream.But the owner of this dream is very powerful, if one is not careful, Natsume will be completely trapped in this dream, unable to extricate himself.

But then, the dream changed. To be precise, apart from the endless darkness, a birdcage appeared in the dream.

This birdcage is very exquisite, but for some reason, Xia Mu always feels a little strange when he sees this birdcage.

That is a "bird cage".

Then, with a mournful cry, a beautiful yellow bird appeared in the cage, whining at a butterfly flying by in the cage.But no matter how miserable it was, it couldn't keep the butterfly away.

Natsume only dreamed of this place, and he didn't know what would happen next.

Suddenly, the birdcage and the yellow bird disappeared, but the butterfly that was supposed to leave flew in front of him and turned into a beautiful woman with long hair wearing a butterfly belt.The woman's mouth opened and closed slightly.

【What?what do you want to say? 】

Natsume wanted to get close to this woman to hear what she was talking about,

"Natsume-san! Natsume-san!"

"what!!"

Awakened suddenly, Natsume looked at the girl next to him—it was Mao Lilan whom he had just met.

"Natsume-san, it's okay, you've been asleep for a long time. School is over now."

Hearing this, Natsume looked around, well, there was really no one there.

"Thank you."

Natsume hurriedly packed his things.

"Are you ready, Ran?"

Suzuki Sonoko has already urged outside.

"Just come!"

"Lan, why don't you call Natsume-kun up too?"

"Hmm...Natsume-kun, do you want to come with us?"

Mao Lilan smiled and extended an invitation to the boy in front of him.

"Ah... this..."

"It's okay." Mo Lilan waved his hand.

"Then... I will trouble you."

Suzuki Sonoko was quite happy that Mao Lilan had an appointment with Natsume Takashi.After all, Natsume can be considered a handsome man.

While chatting and laughing—although Ran and Sonoko were mostly talking, Natsume was listening—they arrived at the Mori Detective Agency.

"Ah, is Maori's father a detective?" Natsume was a little surprised and a little envious.He had only heard about detectives on TV, but hadn't seen them in real life.

"Yes, yes, Lan's father is the famous 'Sleeping Kogoro'!" Suzuki Sonoko patted Natsume's shoulder and said quite familiarly.

Natsume smiled awkwardly, forgiving him for really not knowing who "Sleeping Kogoro" is.

"Miss Yoko! Miss Yoko!"

Before entering the door, you can hear an uncle crying and howling.

Mao Lilan's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Pushing open the door suddenly, "Dad! You're drinking again!" He raised the wine bottle and dropped it, and the messy table was quickly cleaned up.The drunken uncle behind the garbage dump also appeared in front of Natsume.

Well, if detectives were like that, he'd rather not have seen one.

"Lan. You're back...huh? Who is that little boy?"

"Dad! This is my classmate, Takashi Natsume!"

After reprimanding the alcoholic father, Mao Lilan looked back at Natsume and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Natsume-kun, I made you laugh."

"Sister Lan, you are back—who are you, big brother?"

Conan was lured down by the noise downstairs.As soon as I came down, I heard Lan apologizing to this person.

"Hello, my name is Natsume Takashi."

For some reason, Xia Mu felt that he should use the tone of a peer to the child in front of him.

"Little ghost, he is a new exchange student in our class." Suzuki Sonoko looked down at Conan. "How about it, isn't it handsome?"

Cut, Conan expressed disdain for Sonoko's nympho.

Natsume, who somehow became the center of the topic, was confused.

But is it his illusion?He always felt that this kid named Conan...

"Wow!"

Natsume took a step back abruptly, leaving everyone bewildered.

"Big brother, is there anything on me?" Conan looked at himself curiously, but found nothing unusual.So why did the teenager have such a big reaction after staring at him for a while?

"No, nothing."

Natsume wiped away the non-existent cold sweat.

He did see it just now.A cloud of black air suddenly appeared from the child's body, but the black air didn't look like a monster, nor did it have any malicious intent.

But this black air made Xia Mu feel very uncomfortable. The black air was like rotten wood, with a cold breath.

But it seemed that the little boy was haunted by some monster, nor did he seem to be seriously ill. How could there be such a strange black energy?

Conan was also very strange. For some reason, this seemingly gentle boy suddenly yelled, and it seemed that he had scared him.

But what did he just do?

Conan was puzzled.

The chats that teenagers only see are nothing more than trivial gossip. Who confessed today, which teacher got embarrassed today, which class made trouble today, although trivial, it is enough to make people laugh.

"Ah! It's so late! I'm sorry, I'm leaving first." Natsume looked at his watch inadvertently, only to realize that most of the time had passed unknowingly.I hurried back to my host family, annoyed that I had forgotten the time so carelessly.Let others worry about what to do, while secretly happy to come with Mao Lilan.

Although it may be a bit overreaching to say so, Natsume thinks that he is also a little bit integrated into this place, right?

"Sorry to keep you waiting." When Natsume returned, the lady was already at home.

"It doesn't matter, Natsume-kun can make friends so quickly after arriving here, I'm also very happy. Right, Goro?"

"Meow~"

Natsume smiled and returned to her room, where Mr. Cat was sleeping soundly.

Natsume was lucky that Mr. Cat didn't fight Goro.After all, Mr. Cat is not an ordinary stingy cat.

"Mr. Cat, wake up!"

After mercilessly waking up the cat teacher, Natsume said seriously: "Teacher, have you ever seen a kind of black air? It's not the kind of monster, but it has a cold and rotten feeling."

"I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it! Don't disturb my sleep!"

Teacher Cat turned over and continued to prepare for sleep.

Natsume sighed, sure enough, Mr. Kitty could not be counted on.Although it wasn't really his business, Natsume still wanted to know if the black energy would affect the child.

"However, if you want to know, you might as well ask the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper?

"I don't even bother to answer such a simple question."

Mr. Cat, who has been serious for less than three seconds, went out to find something to eat with his ass twisted.
